Four Christian Fantasists. A Study of the Fantastic Writings of George MacDonald, Charles Williams, C.S. Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien is a book by Richard Sturch about the relation between J.R.R. Tolkien's Christian faith and his works. It similarly examines two of Tolkien's fellow Inklings members, Charles Williams and C.S. Lewis, and one of his predecessors in fantasy writing, George MacDonald. Published in 2001 by Walking Tree Publishers, it became the third installment of the Cormarë Series.
- "[This book] seeks to look at their use of other worlds and other beings; at their attitudes towards 'escapism'; at the presence of symbolism and myth in their writings; at the themes and ideas they had in common; and at the extent to which their fiction has a value for Christian apologetics."
